The Abundance Dispatch: Letters to Power
About this audiobook
In The Abundance Dispatch, Ravinder Nath Bhalla, MD — board-certified in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, with forty years of clinical practice — delivers a series of open letters to the people whose choices will determine the next decade: world leaders, power-concentrating oligarchs, the architects of a new UN Charter, corporate boards, and the engineers building artificial intelligence.
These letters are not moral appeals. They are clinical briefings. Drawing on twelve documented case studies — the Treaty of Versailles and the Marshall Plan, Putin and Ukraine, Ashoka and the Kalinga War, Mandela's South Africa, Haiti's extractive debt, and the Pentagon–Anthropic confrontation of February 2026 — Dr. Bhalla demonstrates that scarcity thinking is not just morally costly. It is strategically inferior by its own metrics: security, prosperity, stability, and legacy.
The ask is not transformation. It is accuracy. The window for choosing differently — for AI governance, for peace, for the world our children inherit — is open now, and closing.
The fourth volume of The Abundance Series, and its most concentrated form: not analysis about power, but correspondence addressed to it.
About the author
Ravinder Nath Bhalla, MD, is a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist with forty years of clinical practice across three states, two hospital systems, and as medical director of a non-profit mental health clinic serving multiethnic underprivileged populations. Fewer than ten thousand physicians in the United States hold triple board certification across the full developmental arc - from early childhood through late adulthood.
The Abundance Trilogy - Abundance: Beyond Scarcity and Self-Devouring Cycles, The Twin Minds: Choosing Abundance over Scarcity, and Red Lines Rising - applies that clinical lens to the patterns by which intelligent, well-resourced people and institutions consistently make self-defeating decisions. The Abundance Dispatch: Letters to Power is the operational companion to the trilogy, written in March 2026 inside the window it describes.
Dr. Bhalla practices in the United States.
